City of Olive Branch; extend date of repeal on hotel/motel tax and issuance of bonds for tourism, parks and recreation.

HB 1689 would have extended the expiration date of a 1% hotel/motel tax in Olive Branch, Mississippi, from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2029. The tax, levied on room rentals, would fund tourism and parks/recreation projects, requiring voter approval (60% majority) before implementation. It also permitted the city to issue bonds up to the amount of tax revenue to finance related improvements. The bill died in committee on April 3, 2025, and never became law.
